Annexation Necessary For Industrial Growth
Heart Fund Residential Canvass Will Be Sunday
Washington, Our Yardstick
Washington's birthday is a national holiday—in spite
of the fact that in the city named after him, they celebrate
it with sales in all the stores. The Washing-ton Monument is
the mecca of visitors—particularly of the young. Its lighted
shaft is a beacon across the city. Mount Vernon, after many
years of neglect, is a National Shrine—an idea emulated
by would-be Washingtons.
In line with the vogue for "realistic writing, many
authors have attempted to 'debunk' those whom our nation
has honored as great. (Many of these writers did not know
that the Communist directive was to destroy national heroes
of other countries.) But in spite of efforts to present a
"realistic" Washington, no one has been able to "debunk"
Washington. The most they could do was to say he courted
a lady who maried another, that he -had false teeth, and
that he was made Comander-in-Chief because his wife was
wealthy and he would not need to be paid.
But never were they able to defame his character, to
question his integrity, to impune his loyalty or his wholehearted devotion to the cause for which he fought! Never
were they able to point to .one single act determined by self-
interest or avarice.
Many there were in the new government, who sought
to use it for their own aggrandizement. Not Washington.
Many there were who found it—as have bureaucrats from
the time of Cheops and his Pyramids—-ways to make money
through speculation on information or on public funds. Not
Washington.
In the long years of war, there were those of faint
heart who tried to hedge, that they might be protected
whichever way the war went. Not Washington. Just as in
the days of the French and Indian Wars, he had given
wholeheartedly of himself for the protection of the Colonies,,
so he' gave his all for the infant nation, born of those same
colonies.
When you stop to think of it, isn't it remarkable that
those who would tear him down never found one act or
speech which they could twist to his discredit ?> If they
could they would have—but they could not find anything.
Washington has endured as our greatest national hero,
not only for what he did for the nation, but even more for
his character—for his steadfastness in trials and tribulations, for his perseverance in face of seemingly insurmountable odds—and for-his incorruptibility.
It is well for the nation that has such a hero—particularly if the citizens of that nation use as a yardstick
in their judgement of leaders the qualities that made Washington great.
'JSpme' 1$ Its Life
"Space" is the life of a newspaper. Every column inch
of every copy of this newspaper costs so many dollars to
produce, regardless of whether it is occupied by editorial
matter or advertising. Knowing what that cost is, it may
seem only natural that publishers would be inclined to increase earnings by devoting to advertising all of the space
they coyld sell.
Strange as it would appear, such is not the case. All
recognized newspapers set quotas or precentages for productive material, and seldom violate them.
Although the paper owns all of its^ space and can use
it as it sees fit, it has obligations it will not avoid, for
several very sound reasons.
When this newspaper accepts subscriptions it is entering into a contract with its readers. An unwritten clause of
that contract assures that the issues readers will receive
will contain an established amount of news, editorials, features and advertising.
There is another side, too, that the publisher keeps
in mind. It is that of costs. To maintain qualified staffs, in
both news and advertising departments* is expensive. It is
increasingly so if the space each fills each issue fluctuates
widely.
Both 'sides' as they are called in most newspaper
offices;, can occasionally turn out additional pages, by working longer hours. But they cannot do so at frequent intervals. It is to the self-interest of the paper therefore; to
maintain a staff keyed to fairly rigid quotas of news and
advertising. Any other merely increases the cost-per-column
inch.
Those who submit news, particularly publicity chairmen, should understand and remember this cost-per-inch
fact.
And when your club or group can profitably do so,
isn't it not only good business but also neighborly, to reciprocate the newspaper's numerous gifts; of"space by'
placing advertising in it., and renewing subscriptions^ .

is' unhappy with the Stark
County commissioners' decisions to refuse annexation petitions, which would bring industrial sites into both municipalities.
In both instances, public officials and civic leaders feel
that both the cities and townships have been hurt, as well
as the county and the state.
In addition, there is a growing desire to have commissioners establish- a set policy regarding annexations, such as is
found in Columbus and Franklin County.
A.s it is at present, annexation
petitions can meet all legal requirements and still be refused
at the commissioners' whim.
Those involved in drafting annexation petitions stand much
expense in filing the petition
and would like some set guide
as to whether their investment
of time and money wil) brins
results.
In the case of North Canton,
the commissioners in announcing their "turn down'' Friday
(local leaders and petitioners
learned about the decision via
radio broadcasts! did not question the legality of the petition;
nor had the Jackson opposition.
Commissioner Joseph T. Nisi.
sai;| the Nortn Canton petition
wa.s refused because "statements made at the hearing lead
me to the opinion that the favorable comments were from
Plain TownshSp. About 80 per
cent of the Jackson Township
residents voiced opposition.
Therefore, I move to deny the
petition.''
In the case of Massillon (its
third consecutive annexation
turn down). Commissioner Holland S. Anthony stated: "I
don't think one freeholder
should have the power to
change the tax base of a township and a city."
Just recently, the commissioners approved an annexation
to Canton of a section extending to the North Canton southern corporation limits based on
the petition of a lone freeholder.

Whether the lack of parking

walk or we're just extra sensitive when it comes to our
feet, North Canton consumers
seem very interested in a family shoe store in centra] downtown.
The family shoe store is running a close second to a department store in the Sun's
current survey of area citizens
on what types of business they
would like to see locale around
the Square.
Department stores mentioned
in the replies from our questionnaire form the in Feb. 5 issue include Sear's. Wards. Penney's and Zwicks.

consequence of the increasing
Soviet pressure he and his

Tells Moscow Story-
After coming to the United
States, Dr. Nyaradi has written
several articles for leading
newspapers and magazines,
among them the Saturday Evening Post, Fortune Magazine,
and the Scripps - Howard newspapers.
His book, "My Ringside Seat
in Moscow," was. acclaimed by
reviewers as one of the best
books ever published on Russia
and was commended as an outstanding anti-subversive document by the National Americanism Committee o f the
American Legion.
D r. Nyaradi's knowledge
about the Soviet Union is firsthand, since he spent seven
months in Moscow negotiating
a " Russian reparation claim
against Hungary.
Education, Freedom His Goals
In the United States, Dr. Nyaradi has established himself
as an educational and civic
leader.
He has traveled to Munich for
